Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
Editing is a fundamental aspect of making any great movie, but it is specifically important within the creation of action cinema. There is more to making a great action movie than just assembling a number of impressive fight scenes; action films that are genuinely regarded as classics have to move at an appropriate pace, develop their characters thoroughly, and develop an internal continuity that makes sense.

5 ‘The Matrix’ Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski ✕ Remove Ads The Matrix is a miracle of a movie, as it is very hard to imagine that a studio like Warner Bros. would be able to fund a completely original science fiction film like this today.
4 ‘Baby Driver’ Directed by Edgar Wright Baby Driver was a straight up throwback to classic car chase movies, and even resulted in the destruction of several vehicles on set.Edgar Wright has always been a filmmaker who has been great at merging music within his work, but Baby Driver made use of a great soundtrack that synced up to every major set piece. Although there is a lot of humor, Baby Driver is certainly one of Wright’s darker films thus far.
3 ‘Dirty Harry’ Directed by Don Siegel ✕ Remove Ads Dirty Harry was a groundbreaking step forward in the development of crime cinema that captured the paranoia about serial killers long before it became mainstream in the 1990s with Se7en and The Silence of the Lambs.
2 ‘Die Hard’ Directed by John McTiernan Die Hard set the template of what action movies would look like going forward, and is largely responsible for the rebirth that the genre experienced in the 1990s. It was ironically the simplicity of Die Hard that ended up making it so impactful; the film told a great underdog story about how John McClane was placed in an unthinkable situation and forced to rely on his wits alone to survive.
